on the LCD display. Proper use and care of this tester will provide many

years of reliable service.

2. SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read this manual carefully and pay attention to related safe working

standards before using this tester. Protection provided by the instrument will

be impaired if used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer.

WARNING

Ÿ This is not a high voltage test instrument (max. 30V DC). Under no

circumstances should the test leads come in contact with an AC voltage of

any value. Test only batteries for which the designated setting of the

battery selector indicates. Improper use of this battery tester can result in

severe damage to the meter or personal injury.

Ÿ Do not use this tester for measurements within measurement categories

II, III and IV.

5. OPERATION

5.1. TESTING A BATTERY

NOTICE: Always identify the battery polarity before testing.

NOTICE: To avoid excessive drain on the battery under test, do not press

the push button (5) down when using the test leads or short the test leads

across one another when pressing the button (5).

NOTICE: Do not allow the test leads to touch the metal positive and

negative contact points on the tester during any battery test.

1. Set the battery selector (4) to the type of battery you are testing. If the

battery selector (4) is incorrectly positioned, an inaccurate test will result

and may damage the tester and cause excessive drain on the battery.

2. Touch the red test lead (6) to the positive (+) terminal on the battery and

the black test lead (7) to the negative (-) terminal on the battery.

3. Observe the battery condition on the LCD display (1).

4. When testing 9V rectangular batteries, position the positive (+) and

negative (-) battery terminals directly onto the positive and negative

contact points (3 and 2), then observe the battery condition on the LCD

display (1).

5.2. ALTERNATING TESTING METHODS

Depending on the battery type, it may be easier to

use the positive and negative contact points (3 and

2) on the tester instead of touching both test leads

to the positive and negative terminals on a battery.

1. Position the positive (+) terminal of the battery on

the positive contact point (3). Then touch the

black test lead (7) to the negative (-) terminals of

the battery and observe the battery condition on

the LCD display (1).

2. The reverse can be done by positioning the

negative (-) terminal of the battery on the

negative contact point (2) and touching the red

test lead (6) to the positive (+) terminal on the

battery.

5.3. Testing Button Cell Batteries

1. Inserting the battery, negative (-) side up, in the

slot below the push button (5).

2. Press down on the push button (5) to make

contact with the positive and negative terminals on

the battery.

3. Read the battery condition on the LCD display (1).
